Sneakers: Fox Brothers x Clarks

 Combining the aesthetics and refinement of Saville Row, Clarks’ 2010 Spring/Summer collection features the use of Fox Brothers, together with some of their most iconic models. Each style’s upper features a chalk stripe flannel created from 100% lambswool, milled by Fox Brothers of Wellington, Somerset. Fox Brothers has maintained a legacy spanning all the way to 1772. Look for the collection to drop next year at select Clarks retailers.

Alright, I really like those. Fresh and classy.

Fashion: Ben Drury x Nike “Silent Listener” Air Max 90 Current

London-based artist Ben Drury continues his partnership with Nike, this time developing another shoe with his name attached to it. Dubbed the “Silent Listener”, Drury’s latest design finds inspiration from the City of London, featuring an overall scheme implementing dark color tones, juxtaposed beautifully by the use of a vibrant blue. The “Silent Listener” Air Max 90 Current is slated to drop today, exclusively via Nike Sportswear 1948 in London. Only 125 pairs were produced for this design.

One good looking pair of sneakers with one of my favorite classic color-lines.

Video: "Home Sweet Home" by Mishoo The Drumkit

Dear friends and followers, Here is my little music video for Home sweet Home. It's self-shot, on a sunny Finnish winter day in my car. I've had fun recording it with my DV camcorder. First thing I do next year is to invest into film equipment for future projects. I would like to thank Dj Madsen for the wonderful beat, my lady for all the creative input and Sasha Faq for the great artwork. Make sure you check her page.
